Verve. Shoegaze?

Looked at that pitchfork link , never seen it before is it US based ? Sort of online NME ?

No hard rock and metal on there though ?

Soccer Mommy she's a talented woman , snail mail too

Honey do who did that , do you know the song , US indie band but big wall of sound

[NYCBlue]

Somebody from a music publication came up with the name, you can't get any more arbitrary than that.

Have you heard of a band called Karp? They sound like a Metal band. But they're not because they choose not to be. It's their art. It's their choice.

It's a hugely influential website.

I love Honey Do. It's a completely original riff. Beverley is the band.

Yes that's them , blonde guitarist , good harmonies too

Pitchfork doesn't seem to be rock and metal friendly ?

[Heathblue]

Smiths , student indie band

Pixies .....rock band

Mogwai.....rock band

Wet Leg .....student indie band


My view is if someone has a heavy sound they are in my record collection

The NME can piss off

Bloody students

Heavy riffage from the Godsticks, Dan isn't in the video but he did finish the album with them before leaving,
I will be going to see them this month at Fuel, (I have to pay ) will be strange to see them without him.

[Dorcus]

This. Vastly overrated. And mostly boring.

They were ok, so so but massively better than the Stereophonics; just a parochial example without more extensive comparisons which would further demote them.

I'm an unreconstructed Rammstein fan myself.

Have you heard Wednesday? They are a mixed bag but they have some good tunes.

I think his voice needs to be more abrasive

Great guitar , bass and drums

His singing is a bit too radio friendly on this one

I find a lot of student types like riffing bands like smashing pumpkins but once they do an interview in metal hammer etc they vanish and its all back to floppy haircuts

No, I haven’t. I’ll give them a listen this evening.

I found them on Pitchfork when their album first came out. They scored it 8.8, and it also did well on Metacritic (89%).

[NYCBlue]

I listened to them last night. Not bad at all. An 8.8 on Pitchfork can make a career.
